Researchers have declared that a giant asteroid did in fact kill off dinosaurs 65 million years ago in the journal Science Friday. We thought that this was old news?

Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman director to receive a Best Picture Oscar for her film The Hurt Locker. The Hurt Locker and Bigelow beat out her ex-husband James Cameron's Avatar.

Over 500 are dead in Nigeria after a weekend of ethnic violence.

The FBI's Most Wanted List is turning 60: Thomas Holden, a bank robber and murderer was the first criminal to appear on the list on March 14, 1950.

President Obama visits Arcadia University today to press for health care reform. Students have been lined up outside of the doors since before 8:30 this morning; Obama is scheduled to speak at 11 am. CP editor Brian Howard is there, and will probably have something up on the Clog when he gets back.
